News bulletin. Congress already took all the money out of the SS and Medicare trust funds and spent it already! What do you think they are going to do with this increase in deductions? Instead of throwing something at the TV, throw some cold water on your face and wake up!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50e5017f6bb3f7ac0f00000eheresy101Wed, 02 Jan 2013 22:56:47 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50e5017f6bb3f7ac0f00000e
As the House vote was coming down, a cow from the NY Times was making the same argument about this being a huge tax increase on working people. My wife stopped me from throwing something at the idiot on the TV. This is an increase in deductions to pay for social security and medicare!
Bruce is either an austerian or an idiot because he has recently been on his hobby horse about the "disasterous" financial situation of social security. In his opinion, social security and medicare should be both disbanded because they have no money. They have no money because of the reductions in withholding and using all the surplus funds to give tax reductions to the 1% and to pay for our idiot president's war in Iraq and Afganistan (not the president that can't negotiate, but the certified idiot, aka Bush II).
I call BS!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50e4ffb369beddfe49000001One PercentWed, 02 Jan 2013 22:49:07 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50e4ffb369beddfe49000001

The 2014 election is just 23 months away.The outcome of that election will determine just how "permanent" the just passed tax provisions will last. Between now and then, the tax planning business will be booming.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50e4e0d5eab8eae41d00000cAqua BuddhaWed, 02 Jan 2013 20:37:25 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50e4e0d5eab8eae41d00000c
This is all mis-direction! The problem is the Corrupt robbing the middle class and then sticking the middle class with their dine and dash bills. All the major banks are corrupt especially the American one's and every CEO that ran a Wall Street firm prior to 2010 should be in jail!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50e4dcabeab8ea431300000aNjuguna MuigaiWed, 02 Jan 2013 20:19:39 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/50e4dcabeab8ea431300000a

God forbid we actually make the poor and middle class pay into SS insurance based on the benefits they will receive when they retire. Given they are using SS as their only retirement income aside from other social welfare benefits they will expect to get, it's totally appropriate. No wonder Dems are totally against switching over to private directed programs which will reflect exactly what one puts into the program.
